What it’s like
The place. Columbiana is a small city in Columbiana County, Ohio, with a population that skews older than most places. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm by July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Among the largest workplaces in Columbiana are R+L Carriers, a long-distance freight trucking company, Columbiana Exempted Village Schools, and Omni Manor, a nursing home. The typical commute is short, and unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though the number of jobs there dipped slightly last year.
Things to do. Beaver Creek State Forest and the Cherry Valley Coke Ovens, both protected areas, are a short drive away. Farther afield, Guilford Lake State Park and the Butler Institute of American Art, a museum, are each a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Columbiana’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Columbiana County and the Salem, OH metro.
